Hey All Stars!

Many of us are still recovering from pool basketball on Sunday. I know DB’s nose still is. We had a bar-b-q and time of worship and hanging.

We discussed 2 core convictions.

1. God changes lives.
Not ideas, programs or people. He uses them, but He must be at the center of everything we do because it is ojavascript:void(0)nly He who can bring Revelation to anyone.

2. Where we are going can be seen in the ones God has taking us there.
Woah, that’s a brain full. Basically, we are called to work, to serve, in order to fully elevate and demonstrate Jesus to each other and to the world. We are the actual body of Jesus and should together be an image of Him in South Jersey.

From those, we talked about the following ideas …

1. Incorporating worship into our time on Tuesday night. Yesterday we worshiped by reading the ancient/contemporary text of Scripture as we shared verses that have meant something to us over the course of our lives.

2. A gathering of young adults for a worship service to elevate Jesus with the voice of our generation. What will that look like? We don’t know yet. This will be something larger than YAM, and will incorporate expressions from many gifts in the body. High on meaning. High on Jesus. Low on specific form. We are in shaping process. Let us know what you think!

Hope you are doing well. Let us know how we can pray.
